Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

Processing science for nanocrystalline metals has largely focused on far-from-equilibrium
methods that can generate many grain boundaries with excess defect energy. Conversely …

The wider application of copper alloys is challenged due to their relatively low strength and
thermal stability. Here we report a nano-reinforcement dispersion strategy to achieved an …

The interface control is critical in the development of high-performance molybdenum (Mo)
alloys for high-temperature applications like space reactors. In this work, nanostructured Mo …

Nanocrystalline metals, with a mean grain size of less than 100 nanometres, have greater
room-temperature strength than their coarse-grained equivalents, in part owing to a large …

Abstract Bulk Cu/Ta nanolamellar multilayers with an individual layer thickness from several
micrometers down to 50 nm were successfully fabricated via a combination of cross …

WC dispersion-reinforced Cu composites with high thermal stability were fabricated using
intermittent electrodeposition and the spark plasma sintering (SPS). WC nanoparticles were …

A new type of intelligent lubrication functional material, Cu-5Sn/22vol% Cr 3 C 2/16vol% Ti 3
SiC 2 composite, was fabricated by powder metallurgy. The mechanical and tribological …

Dispersion-strengthened copper alloys can achieve ultra-high strength, but usually at the
expense of ductility. In this study, a strategy for overcoming strength-ductility tradeoff of Cu …

Atomistic computer simulations are capable of providing insights into physical mechanisms
responsible for the extraordinary structural stability and strength of immiscible Cu–Ta alloys …
